Welcome

Hi! I'm Ash Wolf (or Ninji), a 23-year-old software developer in Glasgow, Scotland. I like graphic design (it's my passion), reverse-engineering and terrible jokes. Sometimes I make things and put them on the internet (like this website). Some of them are on the Creations page.

I'm currently a second-year Computer Science student at the University of Strathclyde. I'm also Lead Programmer for Furcadia, a social MMO.

In the past I've done a bunch of stuff with console game hacking (most notably for the DS and Wii variants of New Super Mario Bros.), but I've moved on from that for the most part.

I'm still working on this website, so please understand if you come across anything that's broken or incomplete. If you have a suggestion, then feel free to send me an email at ninji@wuffs.org! (No HTML email, please)

• Jun 27, 2015 · How I Began Modding NSMBWii

  I’m planning to write a series of posts about low-level modifications to New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the 2009 Nintendo game. This is a sort of ‘prequel’ to that series, where I write some fluff about how I got to this point and the history/background of NSMBW mods.

• Jun 26, 2015 · Introduction

  This post marks my second attempt to start a blog! The last one barely got off the ground, but I feel like I’ve got more to write about now, so perhaps I’ll actually keep it going?
